Su Nian created several wooden carved huadan characters with different expressions and clothing.
Some are helmets and headdresses, and some are complete sets of headgear, which took quite a lot of effort to make.
Many of the materials were carefully sourced from less conspicuous items of this era.
Carving a wood sculpture only takes two hours, but making a set of clothing takes one or two days.
After everything was done, Su Nian carved patterns and a cloud-patterned base with fine rosewood, fixed the doll in place, covered it with a glass cover, and finally glued it in place.
As a result, the wooden dolls can only be appreciated through the glass cover.
Several finished products were placed on the table, and Su Nian and the others stood in front of the table and admired them quietly.
Captain Chen and the old branch secretary stared at him for a long time without saying a word.
It was so beautiful! So stunning! They were stunned for a long time.
Su Nian looked at the five wooden dolls, then at Captain Chen and the old branch secretary, and frowned.
I thought to myself, how come these two are so bewitched?
I originally wanted to make three, but these two refused to agree no matter what. They insisted that I make five and said they wanted to keep one in the factory.
"Hey, you two, which one do you like? Which one should we keep in the factory?" Su Nian couldn't help but ask.
"What if one of them you like is also what you do?" Captain Chen's eyes were glued to the wooden doll, and a mechanical voice came out.
"Then just leave them in our factory for people to visit! To prove that we have the strength!" Su Nian said with a smile.
"This is a good idea!" The old branch secretary nodded thoughtfully.
He now looks at these wooden dolls more carefully than he looks at his own sons, and is really reluctant to sell them.
Besides, things are valuable because they are rare. Su Nian said that at most these five can be made. One more, no, even half more cannot be made because there is no material!
Furthermore, Su Nian said that there is no other material like this in the entire country. This thing in their factory is one of a kind!
Such a precious treasure, even selling it for a thousand yuan seems cheap, it is clearly a priceless treasure!
"No way, old Party Secretary! Are you really planning to display them all in our factory? We'll lose everything!" Su Nian teased with a smile.
"Our factory can afford this little money! Tell me, where should we put it? How can people see it? I envy them so much!" The old branch secretary said with his neck stiff, like an old child.
"Old Party Secretary, Captain Chen, what do you think, how about we set up an exhibition hall?" Su Nian suppressed his smile and asked seriously.
"What do you mean?" Captain Chen listened carefully to Su Nian's opinion.
"We've set up a special space to display the toys from our factory! They're samples!
When customers come, they just need to visit the showroom! They can buy whatever they like! We can discuss whatever toys they want to order!
Su Nian spoke whatever he wanted to say, speaking in a relaxed and comfortable manner, as if it didn't matter.
"That's a great idea! Let's build another building in the factory and use it as a showroom! We can put these five treasures in the most conspicuous place! Even if they like them, they won't sell them!"
“And it has to be labeled as not for sale, for appreciation only!”
"Hahaha! Yes! Yes! That's it!!"
After hearing this, the old branch secretary couldn't stop laughing.
It seemed as if he had already imagined those people coming, scratching their heads in frustration with their eyeballs stuck in their mouths and unable to be pulled out, yet unable to buy them either.
It’s no wonder that the old branch secretary has such a bad taste. In fact, this is because this is a true portrayal of himself.
The three of them made the final decision and started the project immediately.
The factory immediately built an additional building, painted it cleanly, and made its own floor with patterned wood.
He also used the materials from the factory to build exhibition stands and display racks. Su Nian added some modern elements and lighting modifications to make the exhibition hall magnificent.
When all the toy samples from the factory were put up, especially with the addition of the wooden dolls, the entire exhibition hall was elevated, giving off a high-end feel as soon as one entered.
"Tsk tsk! Young people are different! They have ideas! They are innovative!"
"It feels so unreal! It doesn't feel like our village anymore! I'm completely confused!"
Captain Chen and the old branch secretary walked around the exhibition hall with their hands behind their backs, their eyes full of curiosity.
"I've seen enough! Turn off the lights!" Su Nian said, and turned off all the lights with a click.
"Don't worry! I haven't seen enough! I can't see enough!!" the old branch secretary shouted with an unsatisfied look.
"It wastes electricity!" Su Nian refused bluntly.
"Haha!" Captain Chen laughed with glee.
"Hey! I've been saving money all my life! Now that I'm old, I still have to be managed by the younger generation!!" The old branch secretary was also amused by Su Nian and joked to himself.
"Hmph! Just tell me, are you willing to install electrical wires in your house?!" Su Nian asked with a little arrogance.
“…” The old branch secretary was choked and speechless.
Not to mention home, they were reluctant to even turn on the lights in the brigade office. They would close and lock the doors as soon as it got dark!
The factory connected to electricity for convenience, but there are generally no night shifts, so electricity is saved to the extreme.
You'll get used to it. Su Nian can't stand any electricity-wasting behavior now!
In fact, the lights installed in the exhibition hall are basically small neon lights like night lights. Even if there are a few of them, they won’t consume much electricity. Su Nian was just deliberately teasing the old branch secretary.
When the lights were turned off, the room was still spacious and bright, but it lacked that mysterious feeling of being neither spirit nor spirit, yet shining with brilliance.
"Haha! You must have been scolded by Comrade Su Nian!" Captain Chen laughed so proudly.
"You little brat! Act as if it's none of your business!" The old branch secretary said as he casually slapped Captain Chen on the back of the head.
